ORDER: Task-Conditioned Routing for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

The paper introduces ORDER, a task‑conditioned retrieval‑augmented generation framework that dynamically adapts both indexing and retrieval strategies to each incoming query. It first clusters questions to learn cluster‑specific chunking, metadata filtering, and reranking settings, then routes queries to the appropriate pre‑built index via nearest‑centroid assignment. Additionally, a supervised query router predicts relevant collections and a Uniform Multi‑source Sampler distributes the retrieval budget evenly across selected sources, yielding superior performance on heterogeneous historical archives compared to existing RAG systems.

REVA: Reusable Evidence View Aggregation for Context-Efficient RAG Serving

The paper introduces REVA, a method for compressing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) prompts by aggregating historical query–document–model interactions into reusable evidence views. REVA mines attention traces from the target generator, maps token-level attention to readable words, aggregates importance across repeated document accesses, and produces budget‑specific plain‑text views that maintain document order and the standard RAG interface. Experiments on four benchmarks with modern LLMs show that REVA improves generation quality by 1.0–5.8 points over existing compressors while reducing compression overhead by 5.3 to 15.6 times and adding less than 40 ms of latency.

VikingRAG: Accurate and Token-efficient Retrieval-augmented Generation over Structured Documents

VikingRAG is a directory‑aware semantic data management system that reduces token usage in retrieval‑augmented generation by tightly integrating semantic and structural access. It employs multi‑round retrieval traces as reusable experience edges and an adaptive escalation strategy to avoid unnecessary multi‑round exploration. Experiments show that VikingRAG achieves comparable accuracy to state‑of‑the‑art methods while using only 11.6%–51.9% of their tokens, and further reductions to 5.1%–32.5% with trace reuse and escalation.
